Too bad the currency exchange rate sucks right now. Its now $44.29 (4300 yen). Maybe I'll wait to see if the dollar can rebound some, lol.

JimmyJoe69 · 11-17-2008, 09:41 PM

Hell I paid $69 total when I ordered mine.

badbob · 11-19-2008, 04:15 PM

I checked today the cover is $44.29, the bolts are $13.60 and the shipping to North Texas $29, thats $86.89. What material is this cover made of ?

badbob · 11-19-2008, 09:47 PM

I have tried 6 times to order this cover an bolts from japanparts.com when I get to the page to submit order it reads go back to item selection there was a calculation error. Is there another site to order these items ?

Bolts? There are no bolts required for the install.

It is a straight forward switch out. But that price I quoted earlier did include shipping.... but there was an additional $2.00 currency exchange charge that came AFTER the transaction was complete.:SHOCKED:

I was refering to the bolt head cover part no.261-030-002 a set of two that every one in the forums say you need for complete installation. The cover assembly is part no. 261-030-001.

JimmyJoe69 · 11-20-2008, 03:12 PM

I see what you are referring to both from japanparts.com and earlier in this thread... but mine installed fine without the extra bolts. The rubber grommets/washers seem to hold the unit just fine onto the existing bolts. Oh well.....I will try and take a pic and show it for clarity.

JimmyJoe69 · 11-22-2008, 10:43 AM

There seems to be a lot of discussion concerning whether of not one needs to purchase the bolts in order to do a complete installation. So, I thought I would take a couple of detailed pics of how the rubber grommets should look in case you DO NOT want to purchase the extra bolts.

The first pic is taken looking from the passenger side.

You can see how the rubber grommet is made to fit over the existing bolt heads. If anyone has installed this piece using the replacement bolts, please post some detailed pics so I can decide if I want to purchase them or not.

After trying many times to order from japanparts.com and failing to complete my order I emailed japan parts and they solved my problem. I was using FireFox, you have to order from them using Internet Explorer. I placed my order today. I ordered without the bolts.

That sucks...I wanted the silver lettering...Oh well...
Enjoy! Install shouldn't take 5 minutes. If it takes longer, you're doing it wrong.

DJDanny402 · 05-28-2009, 06:32 PM

haha werd, ill keep that in mind, why cant you email them and ask to get the one with silver lettering? im sure they would acomidate ya? like exchange it i guess is what im tryin to say

ct20 · 05-28-2009, 06:34 PM

I have had it installed for over a year. Not worth the headache. Not that important to have the silver letters either, but it would have been nice. Now it kind of doesn't matter either way.
